if you want a traditional gun try the Barra 250Z... Great shooter and half the price of others...

Welcome aboard! Hope you find the perfect gun for your needs. Keep your eye on the Classifieds here. Revoman & Coastal Drifter suggested the same I would have. Simpler guns with superb & repeatable accuracy!

Oh man I think I just have to commit to one. I would research one up and then another PCP is recommended. I do the same and about to decide then another gets recommended again. Getting analysis paralysis with all the options. Thanks I'm thinking of going with the krait. Now have to decide whether the standard or L. But will look into the fx wildcat as well.

I started purchasing about 15 years ago. I have found that once you get above the $1,000.00 mark, almost all the guns will be very good quality. There may even be some really good sub $1,000.00 guns out there nowadays! FX, Daystate, BRK, Brocock, Taipan, Weihrauch - all good!

I lurked for a few months before I made my first decision. No regrets.
Patience is a significant part of my shooting.

No one ever recommends this one but I have a Gauntlet and a Gauntlet 2, both in .25. Both needed a little work and they shoot well out to about 60 yards but I haven’t tried either past that, just haven’t gotten around to it. Not expensive but will be fine for squirrels, rats, crows and such.

I spent weeks in same position. Finally gave up and bought a $300 gun to get started. I figure by the time I get a chrono, hand pump, compressor, filter/moisture remover and tank sorted, I'll have a better idea of what I want in a nicer rifle.
My Stoeger Ranger is no Brocock, but it's a nice step up from my springer.

Look at it this way. You will eventually have a less expensive gun and more expensive gun. So does it really matter which you buy first? Spend what you can, save up and do it again.
Rinse and repeat until you have 10 or more.

RTI prophet over on American Airguns for $1,000. But due diligence there is a requirement. Make them send a picture of the gun with your name displayed and only use PayPal Goods and Services

Buying that gun from American Airguns classifieds would be like having unprotected...in Bangkok. If that came up here it would already be mine

Ive bought 3 from there. Just take precautions and it works out. But $1,000 is a bit low...Buying that gun from American Airguns classifieds would be like having unprotected...in Bangkok. If that came up here it would already be mine
